Do you know…

that Putt-Putt began in North Carolina? Don Clayton created the first Putt-Putt in Fayetteville in 1954. The former insurance salesman was frustrated by the windmills, waterfalls and other “junk” he played through on a miniature golf course, and he vowed to design something better.

He laid out his geometric, organized course using 3-by-5 cards, and soon was charging 25 cents for 18 holes. After just one year, this golf enthusiast was selling franchises.
